The Cave Creek Town Council on Tuesday night approved a resolution authorizing a grant application submittal for a Land and Water Conservation Fund Grant and directing staff to take any and all action as necessary to implement the grant, if awarded.
The grant, awarded in the amount of up to $2 million, would be used to purchase 4,005 acres of open space from the Arizona State Land Department.
“We fell like we have a strong application to get all the funding from the grant,” Kautzman said. “However there are 17 groups that have applied for the grant and only $9 million to be awarded, so we think we will get funding, but the exact amount we don’t know yet.”
